Personal Narrative: Abortion

Improved Essays
I, the vulnerable, the abandoned am an abortion. My loved one is dying in my hands, extinguishing that spark of existence within me. I bit my lip to stem the tears cascading onto her lifeless face. I instantly reminisce the knife entering her, blood seeping out of her torn wounds. Time had stopped. Stuck in a motionless scene, I fell into an abyss of darkness, trapped by my own emotions. Tears. The only routine that eliminated the sorrow out of my suffering heart. She loved me for me and not as that hideous creature. Where will a creature of darkness go if not the shadows of the night?

    I really care about the whole pro-life/pro-choice debate. I grew up in a Catholic family, went to Catholic grade school, and even attended The March for Life with my eighth grade class. Growing up I was always told that things like birth control and abortion were completely against the church. Of course I believed this. As I transitioned into a public high school and began to learn more I realized that even though I was raised a certain way, I was pro-choice.…

    In today’s society, a rising debatable topic within America is that of the legalism of late-term abortion. Even though deciding to abort a fetus is seen to be the right of the mother under the Roe V. Wade case, choosing to end the life of a fetus when it is viable is murder. The unique genetic code that is given to a fetus is proof that life also begins at conception. The legalization of late-term abortion should be abolished in all fifty states due to evidence that show that it is legally and ethically wrong and also that abortion does not have to be an option. Fetal viability is determined when a fetus is able to live outside the womb.…
